Water Boilers And Heaters
Hot water on the road is easy with Water Boilers And Heaters for caravans, motorhomes and campervans. Choose compact electric small boilers, efficient gas boilers or air-assisted heaters to enjoy comfortable showers, washing up and daily routines wherever you camp.
Water Boilers And Heaters For Camping
From quick handwashing to full showers, match the appliance to your space, energy source and hot-water demand. Consider tank size (3–14 l), heat-up time, installation position and compatibility with immersion or pressure pumps.
Energy Sources And Setups
Gas, electric or combined models offer flexibility. Combination modes shorten heat-up times, while pure electric solutions are ideal on hook-up or for gas-free setups.
Tank Sizes And Heat-Up Times
Small 3–6 l tanks suit compact layouts; 10–14 l tanks provide longer showers. Check manufacturer heat-up specs and choose insulation that retains temperature between uses.
Immersion Pump Compatibility For Water Boilers
Boilers paired with immersion pumps typically use 12 V fittings with microswitch taps. Add dry-run protection to prevent overheating if the tank runs empty.
Typical Performance Guidelines
- Power consumption: 10 to 75 W
- Pressure: 0.5 to 2.1 bar (immersion systems)
- Flow rate: 10 to 25 l per minute
Quiet Operation And Space Savings
Immersion setups run quietly inside the tank and require minimal extra installation space, keeping payload and noise low.
Pressurised Systems And Diaphragm Pumps
Pressurised Water Heaters work with diaphragm pumps positioned outside the tank. They react to line pressure changes when a tap opens and can be installed flexibly relative to the tank.
Benefits Of Pressurised Water Boilers
- Home-like pressure at multiple outlets
- Flexible mounting positions
- Broad compatibility with standard fittings
Truma Water Boilers
Truma boilers offer gas, electric or boost modes for efficient heating of around 10–14 l, with control electronics, pressure relief and clean 12 V control power for reliable ignition.
Key Truma Considerations
Use correct connectors, follow pressure limits and mount close to water lines for shorter runs. Boost operation (gas plus electric) shortens heat-up time.
Elgena Small Boilers
Elgena compact boilers (approx. 3–10 l depending on model) are popular where space is tight. Many variants are designed for low-pressure systems and pair well with immersion pumps, hand pumps or foot pumps.
Pressure And Fitting Notes
Observe approved pressure ranges and choose matching low-pressure fittings where required. For vehicles with automatic pressure pumps, use suitable low-pressure taps with compatible boilers.
Installation, Safety And Hygiene For Water Boilers
Mount securely on vibration-damping pads, protect hoses with grommets and insulate hot-water lines. Always pressure-test after installation and follow the manufacturer’s electrical and gas guidelines.
Winterising And Care
Before frost, drain tanks and lines fully. Rinse and sanitise the system periodically, refresh stored water regularly and check gaskets for wear.
